Imagine that after a holiday or family gathering, there are always many people who feel an upset stomach, either bloating or unbearable pain. Stomach problems affect people's daily lives, not only because of eating and drinking, but also about sleep and even mood.
First of all, it is necessary to understand the effect of a bad stomach on the body. An upset stomach can lead to indigestion, affect the absorption of nutrients, and in the long run, it can cause malnutrition, weight loss, and even affect the function of the immune system.
In addition, frequent stomach pain or bloating may also lead to mood swings, such as anxiety or depression, as the constant feeling of discomfort can affect an individual's mental state. So, can a person with a bad stomach eat onions? The answer is: it depends.
If it is a cooked onion, it may be much less irritating to the stomach because some of the irritating components have been broken down during the cooking process. So, try eating cooked onions in moderation and observe how your body reacts. However, raw onions are not recommended.
The irritating components in raw onions are more intact and are more likely to cause hyperacidity, which can aggravate stomach upset. In addition, the cellulose in raw onions is more difficult to be dissolved by the stomach without cooking, which may also cause some mechanical irritation to the stomach lining, making the symptoms of stomach discomfort more obvious.
Therefore, from the perspective of protecting stomach health, people with a bad stomach should choose cooked food when choosing to consume onions, and try to avoid raw food.

After explaining why people with a bad stomach should avoid raw onions, we should also recognize that everyone's body is different and reacts differently to food. If you have stomach problems, the best course of action is to discuss it with your doctor or dietitian to develop a diet plan that works for you.
When it comes to stomach upset, the first thing that comes to many people's minds is the typical "bad stuff", such as spicy food, greasy food, and even coffee and alcohol.
However, in addition to these commonly known foods, there are also some foods that may not be so obvious, but are also potentially irritating to the stomach, that are often overlooked in the daily diet.
First, let's talk about citrus fruits. Citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruits, and lemons, while rich in vitamin C and other healthy antioxidants, also contain high amounts of organic acids, which can be a problem for people with sensitive stomachs.
When the stomach lining is damaged or there is too much stomach acid, these organic acids may exacerbate the irritation of stomach acid, leading to increased pain or discomfort. Moreover, the sour taste of citrus fruits is itself a strong taste stimulus that may prompt the stomach to produce more stomach acid, which is not a good thing for the recovering gastric mucosa.
In addition, even healthy whole-grain bread is a cause for concern. Although whole-grain bread is a high-fiber food and a healthy choice for most people, the high-fiber properties may have a twofold effect on the stomach.
On the one hand, fiber can help digestion and prevent constipation, but on the other hand, if a person's stomach is suffering from inflammation or other problems, large amounts of crude fiber may irritate the stomach lining, causing discomfort or exacerbating existing symptoms. There is another food that many people may not be aware of its potential problems – legumes.
Legumes, such as black beans, red beans, and mung beans, are rich in protein and fiber, but at the same time, they also contain a lot of plant-based compounds and some hard-to-digest components that can produce gas during digestion, causing the stomach to distend, increasing stomach pressure, which can trigger stomach upset.
For those who already have problems with their stomachs, digesting these foods may require extra care. After learning about the potential problems with these foods, people with an upset stomach should be more cautious when choosing their foods.
While it may not be necessary to avoid these foods altogether, it is important to understand the discomfort they may cause, adjust your diet wisely, and choose foods that are more suitable for your current health condition. It's not just about avoiding pain or discomfort, it's a way to take responsibility for your own body.
By working with a doctor or dietitian, it is possible to develop a diet plan that meets nutritional needs without irritating the stomach. Such lifestyle adjustments, although it may take time and effort, are very beneficial for maintaining stomach health in the long term.
For those who experience stomach discomfort, how to restore and maintain the health of the stomach is a long and complex process. A lot of the time, the focus of our discussion is on avoiding foods that are very irritating.
But beyond these straightforward dietary practices, there are deeper, ways you may never have thought you could help maintain a healthy stomach. First and foremost, adjusting the pace of your diet and the way you eat your food can have an unexpectedly positive effect on your stomach health.
Many stomach problems are actually caused by eating too quickly, not chewing enough, or eating irregularly. Chewing slowly can not only help food digest better and reduce the burden on the stomach, but also increase the contact time between food and saliva and promote primary digestion.
Just imagine, when you chew your food slowly and savor each bite, your stomach has more time to adjust to the amount of food that is coming, which can effectively reduce hyperacidity and stomach pressure. Secondly, increasing the proportion of gelatinous-rich foods in the daily diet is also an often overlooked stomach strategy.
Gums, such as oats, okra and seafood, are found in high concentrations and form a protective film in the stomach that helps relieve the direct irritation of the stomach lining by stomach acid. For example, a bowl of warm oatmeal not only provides rich nutrients, but also protects the stomach lining and reduces inflammation.
Lifestyle adjustments, especially stress reduction and moderate exercise, can promote stomach health. Long-term psychological stress not only affects gastric acid secretion, but also affects the normal peristaltic function of the stomach.
Through meditation, yoga or a simple walk, the body's stress level can be effectively reduced, which in turn reduces stomach discomfort. In addition, proper physical activity, such as walking or relaxing aerobic exercise, can improve overall blood circulation and promote digestive health.
Finally, increasing the intake of prebiotics and probiotics in the diet is a relatively new idea in the field of stomach nourishment. Prebiotics, such as fructooligosaccharides, are found in garlic and onions and can promote the growth of probiotics; Probiotics, on the other hand, can improve the intestinal microbial environment and indirectly support stomach health.
For example, regular consumption of yogurt with live probiotics can not only help maintain the balance of digestive flora, but also provide some level of stomach protection.
With the above-mentioned dietary and lifestyle adjustments, people with stomach discomfort can not only reduce the existing symptoms, but also radically improve the health of the stomach. These methods may seem simple, but when properly implemented in daily life, they can have a long-term positive impact on stomach health.
In this way, we are not only avoiding harm, but also actively promoting the health and recovery of the stomach. This kind of comprehensive care for stomach health can make patients with stomach problems truly and fundamentally improve and enjoy a healthier and better life.
